Following the conclusion of the Dragon Invite, head coach Rachel Busch stated, "We had a strong meet this weekend from both our divers and swimmers. We did a lot of racing in the span of 24 hours and our coaching staff is proud of the team's perseverance and second-place finish."

Greenwalt's two school records also solidified her for two NCAA provisional cuts in the respective dives while also earning a NCAA provisional cut in the 3-meter 11 dive.
On the swimming side, Chloe Rihon broke a school record of her own in the 100 IM with a time of 1:00:30 to take a first-place finish. Rihon took home not just one but three first-place finishes to mark a season-high.
